[Machine] When the heads of the Azariqah were brought and placed on the steps of Damascus, Abu Umamah came. When he saw them, his eyes filled with tears and he said, "Dogs of Hellfire, dogs of Hellfire! These are the worst killers under the heavens, and the best of those killed under the heavens are those whom they killed." I asked him, "Why are your eyes filled with tears?" He said, "Out of mercy for them, as they were of the people of Islam." I said, "I ask your opinion, did you say dogs of Hellfire or is it something you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said, "If so, then I am bold. Rather, it is something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not once, not twice, but many times." Then he recited repeatedly, "On the Day when some faces will turn white and some faces will turn black," until he reached, "In which they will abide eternally," and recited, "It is He who has sent down to you the Book, from which are verses that are precise," until he reached, "Those of understanding." Then he took my hand and said, "Indeed, they are many in your land. May Allah protect you from them."  

لَمَّا أُتِيَ بِرُءُوسِ الْأَزَارِقَةِ فَنُصِبَتْ عَلَى دَرَجِ دِمَشْقَ جَاءَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ دَمِعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كِلَابُ النَّارِ كِلَابُ النَّارِ هَؤُلَاءِ شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ» قُلْتُ فَمَا شَأْنُكَ دَمِعَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟ قَالَ «رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَبِرَأْيِكَ قُلْتَ كِلَابَ النَّارِ أَمْ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ بَلْ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ» فَعَدَّدَ مِرَارًا ثُمَّ تَلَا {يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ {فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ} وَتَلَا {هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ {أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ} ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ بِأَرْضِكَ كَثِيرٌ فَأَعَاذَكَ اللهُ مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] I saw Abu Umamah al-Bahili looking at the heads of Kharijites on the steps of Damascus. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The dogs of the Hell-fire are the dogs of the Hell-fire.'" Then he wept and said, "The worst of those who are killed under the sky are the one who are killed in the cause of Allah, and the best of those who are killed in the cause of Allah are those who are killed in the cause of Allah." Abu Ghālib said, "So I said to him, 'Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' He said, 'If I heard it, then I deserve to have heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , not once, not twice, and not three times.'"  

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّ أَبْصَرَ رُءُوسَ الْخَوَارِجِ عَلَى دَرَجِ دِمَشْقَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كِلَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ كِلَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ كِلَابُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» ثُمَّ بَكَى وَقَالَ «شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَى مَنْ قَتَلُوهُ» قَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ  

[Machine] Seventy heads of the Azarah came and camped on the steps of Damascus for seven days. Three of the seven days had passed and it was the fourth day when Abu Umamah came and performed two units of prayer at Sariyah. He said, "The dogs of Hellfire will kill three times worse than those who were killed under the shade of the sky. The best of those who were killed are those who were killed under the shade of the sky." So I said, "O Abu Umamah, is this something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or is it something you say on your own?" He said, "In that case, I am bold. Rather, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not once, not twice, but until it reached seven times."  

جَاءَتْ رُءُوسُ الْأَزَارِقَةِ سَبْعِينَ رَأْسًا فَأُقِيمُوا عَلَى دَرَجِ دِمَشْقَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَمَضَتْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ السَّبْعَةِ وَكَانَ الْيَوْمُ الرَّابِعُ فَجَاءَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ سَارِيَةٍ وَقَالَ «كِلَابُ النَّارِ ثَلَاثًا شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ خَيْرُ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ ظِلِّ السَّمَاءِ مَنْ قَتَلُوهُ» فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ أَشَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْ شَيْءٌ تَقُولُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ لَا بَلْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا مَرَّةً وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعًا»
